There's not much in the way of either flora or fauna this time of year in Ankara, but I happened to remember that there were ducks at Kugulu Park (Swan Park), just down the street from my office. There were swans, too, http://www.pbase.com/image/26114572/medium, but very uncooperative. He's looking at a piece of lettuce, BTW, fed to the ducks by some kindly woman http://www.pbase.com/image/26120103/medium). This was my favorite shot of the day http://www.pbase.com/image/26114174/medium, but unfortunately couldn't find any flora in it at all :-).
